Chalice does well against inbred blue. However when people start respecting chalice decks again, the chalice decks cannot withstand the attention of the format recognizing them as something to...
I don't see the problem of the inbred blue meta getting chalice'd out. Chalice decks aren't stable enough to survive being a large part of the meta, it is a non-issue.
We don't many new decks all the time because it is difficult to print cards that are good enough to warp the meta. However, every archetype can do powerful things so should a card be printed powerful...
As opposed to a five round event? 3 out of the top 8 on miracles when 20% of the room is on miracles sounds alarming to you?
I'd rather trust larger events, more events.
Legacy is a...

That's frightening to me. Green and black entirely absent from The Sources DtB.
Well phrased. I didn't fully grasp your point until this.
There seems to be a disconnect. Their own product isn't the 20 years of cards everyone else has developed. It is solely Modern, Limited and most importantly Standard. Anything else is gravy.
They...
Completely agree on TNN.
I'd argue having to run so much air in your deck and forcing yourself to cantrip poorly is a real cost to Cruise. Instead of casting ponders and brainstorms for...
I'm of the opinion that if there was ever a time to hit brainstorm, it would be now. A powerful card that helps enable the breakout star of the format, a card they've probably had their eye on for a...
Wait, are we talking about fish or merfolk?
Brainstorm is pretty good, i actually think tempo strategies would miss it most. Nothing like refueling with brainstorm while nimble mongoose brings the...
That's true, mostly because they didn't need them.

If the high tide deck was about reaching a critical storm count instead of hitting that 6 mana threshold, you might view it differently. Time spiral comes at real costs: It has to resolve and you...
I agree, though some part of me would want to extend the deck to include some amount of countermagic like flusterstorm or force, which removes the likelihood of my playing playsets of infernal/BW

I think we can agree that if a card on the banned list is a less powerful version of a card that currently sees play, then it is safe to unban.
Black vise is probably just a worse version of...
Yeah i'm not in a rush to give MUD the consistent ability to skip their mana development from early game and roar right into midgame. The vintage deck loses strip mine and solomoxen but gains 3x...
You certainly don't want a good topdeck tutor legal in the format now that gitaxian probe exists. Storm/reanimator would have a field day and would bring back the possibility of tutoring singleton...
In a format as large as legacy, there are already a ton of cards that individually shut down a combo archetype in specific colors.

I completely agree, and I can finish the combo turn relatively fast. Its just not promising to me to hear a deck get basically banned out of modern for those reasons. I don't know how they can't...
